Pale Day
A pale murky day at my place
I sit in my room with no view
Watching the spring in its autumnal phase
How strange does it feel without you
I’m like a stray dog here
Who came by chance to check out
What’s new in the depth of fear
Where I used to hang around
What an obvious lie that time heals
Sclerosis may do, or dementia
But if you are sane the pain feels
Deeper, and more essential
With each empty day I live through
I feel more and more distanced
From a person I was with you
Now it’s a different existence
You are closer, you live within
And there’s me, but I’m not the same
It’s a life backwards we bring
Into each other, to carry the flame
Where are you now, I’ll come to
If it’s called nowhere, there I’ll be
The only thing I need is you
And your recognition of me.
